Welcome to Cedar & Keys

A space for honest reflection and healing. I believe that healing starts when we're willing to look at our stories again, not to relive them, but to understand them differently. When we reflect on old wounds with new perspective, we create space for something to shift. We break cycles. We challenge the beliefs that have kept us small. We begin to tell ourselves the truth we've been too afraid to face.

This is where I share my reflections: on past and present experiences, on the messy work of self-analysis, and on what it means to take accountability for my own healing. I hope that by sharing my stories, we can support each other in this work. Not because any of us have it figured out, but because there's power in knowing we're not alone.

If you decide to stay, please read through the "self care" page first. My reflections can bring up uncomfortable feelings, and I want you to have tools to take care of yourself.

Take care
